Hathras incident “inhumane, beyond cruelty”; Virat Kohli calls for Justice for Manisha Valmiki
New Delhi: Indian Cricket Team’s captain Virat Kohli on Tuesday called for Justice for Manisha Valmiki, a 20-year-old Dalit girl who was brutally raped earlier this month. Manisha succumbed to her injuries in a Delhi hospital on Tuesday morning.
The woman had suffered multiple fractures, paralysis and a deep gash in her tongue in the savage assault compared by many to the 2012 Nirbhaya gang-rape.
The incident that has shocked the country was condemned widely on Tuesday across social media platforms after the girl breathed her last on Tuesday. #JusticeForManishaValmiki was top trending on Twitter with nearly two lakh tweets at the time of posting this report.
Skipper Virat Kohli also took to twitter and condemned the incident and called it “inhumane” and said it goes beyond cruelty. He also hoped that the culprits of the heinous crime will be brought to justice.

Online fraud: Hotel chef from Udupi cheated of over Rs 1 lakh by WhatsApp contact
Udupi: Udupi City Police have registered a case of online fraud after a 62-year-old hotel chef was allegedly cheated of Rs 1.13 lakh by a woman who befriended him on WhatsApp, claiming to be based in London.
The victim, identified as Pandu Kariappa Poojary, a resident of Kuthpadi in Udupi, was working at a hotel in Mangaluru.
He reportedly came into contact with a woman identifying herself as Emilda William on WhatsApp. During their interactions, she told Poojary that she planned to start a cosmetics and hotel business in India and would meet him during a visit to Mangaluru.
On April 7, Emilda sent Poojary a flight ticket from London to Delhi via WhatsApp. The following day, Poojary received a phone call from a woman who informed him that Emilda had arrived at Delhi airport carrying a demand draft worth Rs 5 crore along with other items. The caller allegedly asked him to pay Rs 70,000.
Subsequently, Poojary also received a call from Emilda, who was reportedly crying and spoke about the situation. Believing the claims, he transferred a total of Rs 1,13,300 in phases using a scanner. He later realised that he had been cheated.
